FICTION AND NONFICTION JOURNALS

I've written over forty articles for IEEE's Women in EngineeringMagazine. My publishing credits include articles that feature brilliant innovators and highlight technical breakthroughs. I've published fiction in The Sun, The Portland Review, So to Speak, and Phoebe, among others. My work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and for inclusion in Best New American Voices. I have received the Dan Rudy Fiction Prize and the Mary Roberts Rinehart Fiction Prize. I completed my MFA at George Mason University, studying with Alan Cheuse, Susan Shreve, and Richard Bausch.

​My feature articles have helped Women in Engineering Magazine win the following awards:

Growing up in his household, Neil may have “just assumed that every mother worked, everybody in the world was brilliant in math and science, well-read, and all that,” but, by the time he was a teenager, Neil was beginning to understand that his family was probably not the norm.
